I&#39...Actually, with those pieces at that price... I&#39;m tempted to buy one of those sets now, just for the parts. I agree with Daniele, that is a *very* rich assortment of parts! Technic frames are new and still very rare... and this has 8 (4 of each). It&#39;s a great assortment of gear, there&#39;s four of those 120° axle hubs, a transmission (old style it looks!), TWO *transmission driving rings* (&amp; shifters, plus four of the transmission idler gears), Technic cams, the newer studless &quot;T&quot; beams, four of the &quot;T Cross Blocks&quot;, *FIVE* different types of tires (if you count treads), and at least one piece I&#39;ve actually not seen before (4560175, 6th column, fourth up from the bottom... looks like a 3L pin with a central hole like a cross block), some nice long axles, worm gears, racks (two types), and a worm gear box... holy cow!<br /><br />At $100 US, this kit is a *steal*! Rats, just when I thought I was safe from LEGO purchases... TLG does it again...Brian Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18309361462316728701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-78784045842987906532011-02-17T17:46:36.877+10:002011-02-17T17:46:36.877+10:00The assortment is juicy.
